Adult Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU)

This program is dedicated to rapid stabilization and crisis intervention for adults who need a higher level of monitoring and intervention. With a higher staffing ratio and aggressive medical supervision, patients are able to be discharged home or transferred to a less restrictive setting in 2 to 5 days. Patients in the intensive treatment program have a dedicated, separate unit.

Outpatient ECT

Patients using this service arrive early in the morning for pre-procedure preparation and stay in the hospital for approximately four hours, from treatment through recovery.
